Course overview

This course will provide a broad overview of quantum-mechanical
interactions between light and matter. We will focus mainly on light-atom interactions
and thus we will also do some atomic structure.

I will provide typeset lecture notes for the course.
They are available in composite form at
this link, but I will also post separate versions for each lecture.

There are many excellent standard texts that you may find useful for this course,
some of the classics and good modern works are listed here.
Titles with call numbers are available in the science library. You should consider obtaining
the Dover titles, since they are cheap.
